Swf trouble playing on web, fine in dreamweaver

ive published the site on the web just to see how it would
turn out, and my swf file should be playing on the upper left of
the homepage, but its not :( If i go to its direct link on the web
it plays....Can anyone explain this?
www.customcomputerco.com and
www.customcomputerco.com/home.swf
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been really
trying to figure this out.

> www.customcomputerco.com
<script
src="file:///C|/Users/Chris/Desktop/yoli/navbar/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.
js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I'm pasting in a reply i offered 5 minutes ago- just change
the example file
paths to yours.
http://shimwells.co.uk/VIDEO.html
the link to the activecontent .js file is shown as this:
<script
src="file:///MacintoshHD/Users/robertnicshimwell/Desktop/DialogueSite/Script
s/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
which is an absolute path to your hard drive. The uploaded
page doesn't work
because other people can't access files still on your
computer.
Is this site defined correctly?
IS the Scripts folder in the same folder level as the
VIDEO.html page or is
it one folder level above it??
The Local Site Folder for this site should be the folder that
contains the
index.html and VIDEO.html pages.
check this site definition, reset the Local Site Folder.
Note- If this throws off the remote folder levels, because
the remote site
has to go into a folder named httdocs or www or public_html
or similar, put
that exact folder name into the "host directory" line of the
remote server
info. When correctly defined, the local and remote will be
mirrors of each
other, and the "homepage" index.html file will be in the top
level of the
Files Panel for both local and remote.
Then re-insert the flash file in the page again.
the path to the activecontent .js file should then be like
this:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript">
When the site is defined correctly- there will no cases of
paths linking to
"file:/// anywhere as long as all assets for the site are
inside of this
site's Local Site Folder.

How do I add .swf created with Photoshop web gallery to Dreamweaver page.?

I've used Photoshop CS3 to create a Flash Web Gallery. I put that folder in my site root in dreamweaver, but when I add the .swf to the webpage- it only shows as a white box. Even when I press "play" nothing happens. What else needs to be done? All of the files created with the .swf are also already in the root directory

That would seem to be a question for the DW forum

I am receiving the error message 2148 on connection refresh. Here is where I am at now with the work flow:
1. Published a swf that is connected via xml maps to a folder called call center on my server.. When I open the swf from that local location on the server it works perfectly(open from file not thru http). Updates and functions on refresh.
2. Server is an application server running IIS. Using Front page to publish files to local intranet web pages. Import the swf to frontpage embed into index.html inside a flash movie player. Save, when viewed thru Internet explorer the error comes up 2148. Accessed from the server thru HTTP or on the network can see the dashboard and functions after you click OK to turn error off, but when you refresh the connection the error comes back.
3. Have global settings to the rootwww folder as always allow.
4. Have a crossdomain policy file in the root directory rootwww saved as crossdomain.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

Trouble playing one swf inside another

All,
I'm trying to load a SWF and play it inside another SWF.
Both SWFs are targeted to use Flash Player 8, and AS 2.0
So, in the parent, I've got code that looks like this:
var movie_mc:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("movie_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("someothermovie.swf",movie_mc);
function onLoadInit(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
target_mc.play();
When I run this in the Flash IDE, it runs beautifully.
However, when I try to play the movie in a browser, the inner
movie
plays for a few frames, then just stops playing.
So potentially relevant facts -
- Both movies are set to run at 30 FPS
- The inner movie is about 2,700 frames long
- The inner movie has an audio track embedded on one of the
layers
- The audio track has sync=Stream
I'm definitely sure the inner movie has stopped playing - I
set an
interval in the parent movie that checks the inner movie's
_currentframe, and displays it in a text field - sure enough
- it gets
to about frame 25, and just stops.
Notably - if I remove the audio track from the inner swf, the
entire
thing runs perfectly, both in the Flash IDE and in a browser.
So, i'm assuming the audio track embedded in a layer, and/or
Sync=Stream has something to do with this?
Any advice or insight is MUCH appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt

Customizing Photoshop Web Gallery in Dreamweaver

HOW DO I STOP WIDTH OF IMAGE FROM STRETCHING? (height is in
proportion)
more details:
I've almost finished customizing a Photoshop web gallery in
Dreamweaver, which is completely confusing for me (i'm a novice)
and any head way i made in changing the template was mainly from
trial and error as it is very unclear in the instrutions on how to
edit.
I finally have a template that is starting to look the way I
want with the thumbnails at the bottom in an iframe and with the
larger image above with arrows on either side. I edited it so the
only thing that's changed in size on the image is the Height so the
width can change automatically.
When the practice gallery I made first opens I've got it
displaying each photo for 4 seconds then going to the next, there's
also the option to pause. While it's playing when it first opens
everything looks fine, the image sizes are right the height is
correct and there's no stretching. BUT as soon as I click on a
thumbnail at the bottom it decides to stretch the width of the
image to fit the table, and then every image after in the slide
show is also stretched. Even if i pause the slides and select a
different image thumb it displays the streched image and not the
proper proportioned image that is displayed when the page is first
opened.
Anyone know how to fix this??????
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Thank you.

My advice is to get a 3rd party gallery creation program.
Many are free and most are better than Adobe's half-baked offerings.

Trouble playing videos in Safari!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble playing embedded videos in Safari. I tried scanning some other similar topics and tried what those suggested and can't get it to work. For whatever reason it works fine on YouTube, but on other sites it doesn't. Here's one example:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/38955.html?type=
I've looked at some sports sites, this, and others, and for whatever reason YouTube is all I get to function properly. I have Perian and flip4mac installed, and I just installed the most recent version of Flash, so I am not sure what the problem is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've had similar problems. I have added embedded .MOV video files in my web pages for years without problems. Recently I've noticed a lot more quicktime questionmark error graphics in webpages with embedded video, including the pages I've made. Previously Safari loaded them correctly. If I open the same pages in Firefox or Opera I don't get the problem, only with Safari. I've kept my safari and quicktime updated. Strange that Safari can't play quicktime compressed with their QT player pro and displayed in their browser, but other software displays them without problem. It is annoying. This happened about the same time that iTunes (on mac, not PC) stopped playing streaming internet radio channels. Any idea how widespread this problem is? If it is common, why are they taking so long to repair the damage?

BitmapData draw method doesn't work when the project is published as the .swf file of the web applic

Hi,
        I am totally confused by this strange error. When I tried using the draw method of BitmapData to draw a movieclip symbol of my project, it seems to work fine locally. However, as I uploaded the published .swf file to my web server and launched it as the plugin of my web application, it failed. The source codes as follows,
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
message3 didn't show at all. Instead, the browser console shows "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.". My understanding of this error message is that the .swf is calling something crashing, and I believe that bd.draw(stage)is the crashng method call.
Also, here is my html embed tag:
    <embed src="/tests/videoplayer.swf" id="flash" quality="high" height="510" width="990" scale="exactfit" name="squambido" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" style="margin: 0px auto;clear:both;position:relative;"/>
Can someone help me?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried stageWidth and stageHeight, but it still doesn't work.
The draw() methid is triggered when I clicked a screenshot button in my application as follows,
ExternalInterface.addCallback("printscreenClicked", printscreenClicked);
function printscreenClicked():void
     //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
    var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
bd.draw(stage);
    //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
Would you please give me an example of "waiting for Event.RESIZE is good, or just at least Event.ENTER_FRAME"?
My real purpose in this application is to capture a snapshot of a streaming video. The video is contained in a movieclip object. I tried stage first since BirmapData.draw() doesn't work when drawing the movieclip on the web site. Do you have any suggestion for this situation? Also, is there any good method to find out what happened if the browser have "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject."?

Strange Problem - All of my preloaded .swf files play at once

Hey guys,
I've been getting a strange problem that I haven't been able to debug. I recently developed an interactive audio and video treatment program that users click through in which a master swf file (DTM-Start.swf) uses ActionScript upon first being loaded to load the rest of the program in the background. Here's how the code looks:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
// create movieclip objects to hold the loaded movies
var intr1:MovieClip;
var maladaptIntr1:MovieClip;
var maladaptIntr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var maladaptIntr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Maladapt1.swf");
maladaptIntr1Loader.load(maladaptIntr1Request);
maladaptIntr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, maladaptIntr1Loaded);
var intr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
var intr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Intr1.swf");
intr1Loader.load(intr1Request);
intr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, intr1Loaded);
function maladaptIntr1Loaded(event:Event):void
    maladaptIntr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
    maladaptIntr1.stop();
    addChild(maladaptIntr1);
    maladaptIntr1.y = -1000
    trace("maladaptIntr1");
function intr1Loaded(event:Event):void
    intr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
    intr1.stop();
    addChild(intr1);
    intr1.y = -1000
    trace("intr1");
function playIntr1() {
   intr1.y = 0;
   intr1.play();
function playMaladapt1() {
    maladaptIntr1.y = 0;
    maladaptIntr1.play();
So that's the idea. What's strange is that when I load a .swf file compiled with AIR 2.6 (because the user interacts with the movie and a text file is output) it's fine too, but as soon as I add any actionscript, even if it's just a stop() command, to a .swf file compiled with AIR, the DTM-Start.swf loads and then plays all of the movies simultaneously so they're all going off at once. Essentially, flash seems to be ignoring the maladaptIntr.stop() command in the Loaded function, for instance. I just don't understand why adding any Actionscript whatsoever to a .swf compiled with AIR would make my DTM-Start do this. I am very confident this is the issue too, because loading .swf files compiled with the FlashPlayer with action script are fine...AIR .swf files without Actionscript are fine too, it's only AIR .swf files with ANY actionscript that cause this problem....
Any ideas?
Much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ricky

One solution is simply to have a stop() in the constructor of the document Class of each swf you're loading. Another solution is something like:
package {
     class MainDocument extends MovieClip {
     protected var swfs:Array = ['DTM-Maladapt1.swf', 'DTM-Intr1.swf'];
     protected var positions:Array = [{x:0, y:0}, {x:0, y:0}];
     protected var movies:Array /*of MovieClips*/ = [];
     protected var loadIndex:int;
     protected var playIndex:int;
     protected var curremtMovie:MovieClip;
          public function MainDocument() {
               super();
               loadMovie(loadIndex);
          protected function loadMovie(loadIndex:int):void {
               var loader:Loader = new Loader;
               loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
               loader.load(new URLRequest(swfs[loadIndex]));
          protected function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
               var mc:MovieClip = LoaderInfo(e.currentTarget).content as MovieClip;
               mc.stop();
               var position:Object = positions[loadIndex];
               mc.x = positions.x;
               mc.y = positions.y;
               addChild(mc);
               movies[movies.length] = mc;
               loadIndex++;
               if (loadIndex<swfs.length) {
                    loadMovie(loadInxed);
               } else {
                    playMovie(playIndex);
          protected function playMovie(playIndex):void{
               if (currentMovie) {
                    currentMovie.stop();
               currentMovie = movies[playIndex];
               currentMovie.play();
Note that with this approach you don't need to create a whole new set of logic each time you want to add a new swf to load.

Published module (.swf) will play in Firefox but not IE

Please help…
Does anyone know why a .swf file would play fine in Mozilla Firefox, but not load at all in Internet Explorer?   I have six of these that I’ve uploaded to our intranet production server (where they should work fine). They all play fine in Firefox. In IE I get a blank screen that just hangs forever. I don't even get the loading screen (which plays correctly in Firefox.) They are published with Captivate 4 for Flash 8. I am using IE 7 with Flash 10 on Windows XP to try to play them. I’ve Googled the problem and searched the Captivate forums and can’t find anything on this.
This is a major problem for us, as our company standard is IE and these training modules are intended for all staff. We were hoping to roll them out to all staff next week. Could this be something that is local to my machine (which is new)?   If so, how do we troubleshoot it to make sure it won’t happen to other users in the field when we roll this training out?
The modules play in IE fine from my local hard drive.   I've also modified my IE and Flash settings to list the sites as trusted sites and always allow content.
I've got to get this figured out ASAP... any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.

IE - I have version 10,1,102,64 installed
Firefox - I have version 10,1,85,3 installed
I followed two sets of instructions. One related to the putting FakeFlash.exe in the ExecutablePublish folder. However, that didn't fix the problem I was experiencing. Then I Followed instructions from:
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/solution-for-cp5-content-not-working-with-the-lat est-flash-player-version.html
which told me to replace the CPAnimationUtils.dll file in the installations folder.
This did correct my problem.

What is needed to view a SWF file on the web?

Do users just need a version of FlashPlayer?

If you are placing it in a web page, then you normally have to use special embedding code to have it display. I don't know if Illustrator provides the necessary code, but if you have Flash, it can generate the code that code in the web page. Dreamweaver can also do it, though I find it less reliable in doing so. Otherwise, if you link directly to the swf file it should open in a browser window and fill up the window.

Swf file won't show up in dreamweaver?

I have been racking my brain on this one, and can't seem to figure it out.. I'm sure it is something simple.. that I'm just not getting.. I created a movie clip in flash CS3 and when i preview the movie in flash, It works fine.. However, when I upload the swf file of the movie clip to dreamweaver cs3 and preview it on the webpage, it shows nothing but a blank screen? Any ideas on why this is happening? any input on this will be greatly appreciated, Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the link. I can see a still image of a swimming pool, but no movie clip. I think you need to
fix the movie clip (post in the Flash forum);
fix your website (post in the Dreamweaver forum);
fix your Flash Player installation (post details in this forum).

Load swf and play movieclip inside it

I want to load a swf and play a moveclip inside it, but the SWFLoad.content always is null. Does sombody know how to resolve this problem?
private var SWFLoader:Loader;
public function myApp3()
   SWFLoader = new Loader();
   var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("FlashAS3_2Flex.swf");
   SWFLoader.load(request);
   this.addChild(SWFLoader);
   var currentSWF = MovieClip(SWFLoader.content);//SWFLoader.content is null
   currentSWF.myClip.gotoAndPlay(1);

The code you show works fine for me. How is btn1 created/named in the second swf file? If you create it dynamically and do not assign a name property to it, it does not have the name you think it does.
